A survey of 523 college undergraduates regarding a pregnant woman's culpability for the use of specific drugs during pregnancy indicated that a rank order of the relative safety of the drugs existed in the minds of the respondents. Tobacco, alcohol and aspirin were perceived as similar in their consequences to the fetus, while cocaine was considered to be the most deleterious and Accutane, the least deleterious. Although 75 percent would imprison a pregnant woman who used cocaine, only 16 percent would do so for the use of Accutane, a prescription drug. The 87 percent of the students who believed that the fetus was a child, were more likely to consider the use of the five drugs during pregnancy as a form of child abuse and were also more willing to imprison the "offending" women. It was suggested that drug education programs need to place more emphasis on the potentially deleterious consequences of prescribed medicines to the fetus.
一项针对523名大学生的调查，内容是关于孕妇在孕期使用特定药物应承担的罪责，结果表明，在受访者心目中，这些药物存在相对安全性的排名顺序。烟草、酒精和阿司匹林对胎儿的影响被认为相似，而可卡因被视为最有害，异维甲酸则被认为危害最小。尽管75%的人会监禁使用可卡因的孕妇，但只有16%的人会因孕妇使用异维甲酸（一种处方药）而将其监禁。87%认为胎儿是儿童的学生，更有可能将孕期使用这五种药物视为虐待儿童的一种形式，也更愿意监禁“犯错”的女性。有人建议，药物教育项目需要更加强调处方药对胎儿潜在的有害后果。
